Framed Nasturtiums

Hi everyone! It's Yvonne. I am absolutely thrilled to be here today as the Limelight Designer for December! I hope you will enjoy this little project of mine.

I guess it`s no secret that I love my Spellbinders dies, and I thought I`d share with you a simple way to take your dies to the "next level". This frame will show off your favorite image in a beautiful and elegant way, I think.

I used the Nasturtiums set for this card, and colored it with Distress Inks. Here is a little step by step on the frame:

I`ve used Spellbinders Classic Frame. I cut out two white frames and two green ones. I also used the Labels One dies to create the "inner" frame.

Cut the frames as shown on the photo.

Glue the white pieces onto the green pieces as shown. Using a darker color at the back creates a shadow-effect and gives depth to the frame.

Glue the four pieces together as shown.

Attach the Labels one- frame as shown. I sponged the frame lightly with brown ink. Decorate with some Pearls, and your frame is ready to go!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you`ve found some inspiration to how you can frame your favorite images. And I sure hope to see you back here next Sunday!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! I am so glad that you accepted the offer to be a Limelight Designer. Your work is always and inspiration and that we can share it will all of our FLLC stampers makes it even better.Jan Marie1flourish

Oh, thank you, thank you! Sheesh! I have this Spellbinders set and may not have even recognized it if you hadn't shown the "how to". Filing this away in my feeble brain. I really hope to give this, or something with this concept, a try. Incredibly gorgeous, Yvonne!

Thank you so much for sharing your technique to make this stunningly beautiful card!! I am amazed by your creations and thanks to your tutorial, can see the possibility of making something just as gorgeous myself!!

Your work is just gorgeous and I'm so glad you are in the Limelight to share it with us all. Wonderful use of the Nesties and I'm sure we will all get out the scissors and give it a try. Beautiful. Pat

Yvonne, CONGRATULATIONS!! You are a creator extraordinaire!! You have such a beautiful inner vision and see things that the rest of us can't even imagine and you are so generous to share that with us. You just make it seem so easy. I love this gift that comes so naturally to you.
